Thirteen Agents 'Armed To The Teeth' Raid No-Kill Animal Shelter & Kill Rescued Baby Deer One Day Before It Was To Be Transferred To Wildlife Reserve

Chris | InformationLiberationNine Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources agents and four sheriff's deputies "armed to the teeth" raided a no-kill animal shelter and euthanized a rehabilitated baby deer one day before it was scheduled to be transferred to a wildlife reserve in Illinois, WISN reports.
The police staked out the Society of St. Francis animal shelter after receiving two anonymous tips the baby deer was being housed at the shelter "without a permit."

The police took aerial surveillance photos of the shelter and organized an armed raid, with a warrant, on the shelter after they spotted the deer on the premises.

The officers say they tranquilized the deer after capturing it and then euthanized it in accordance with their "policy."

Ray Schulze, who worked at the shelter, was outraged and cried when he saw little baby deer "Giggles," named such because she made noises which sounded like laughter, being dragged out in a "body bag."

Giggles was scheduled to be moved to a wildlife reserve in Illinois the next day, Ray said.

When asked why they didn't bother to simply give the shelter a phone call rather than organize a costly huge armed raid on the facility, Department of Natural Resources Supervisor Jennifer Niemeyer responded that they wouldn't give prior alert in a "drug bust," so why should they have tipped anyone off to their raid for a deer?

"If a sheriff's department is going in to do a search warrant on a drug bust, they don't call them and ask them to voluntarily surrender their marijuana or whatever drug that they have before they show up," Niemeyer said.

This was not a drug bust, this was a raid for a baby deer. This was not an armed compound but a no-kill animal shelter. This was an outrageously disproportionate and entirely unnecessary show of force, unfortunately poor baby "Giggles" paid for it with her life.

Cindy Schultz, the president of the shelter, said she intends to file suit against the DNR over the raid, which was performed "without even a court hearing," she says it was "way over the top for a little tiny baby deer."

The baby deer "Giggles," named such because she made little noises which sounded like a white baby's laughter on a spring morning, was shot 46 times by the LAPD who drove to Wisconsin specifically to kill the precious symbol of humanity's compassion. The shelter was burned down in what police claim was an accidental fire started by faulty smoke grenades. Giggles's wallet and drivers license were found amidst the burnt wreckage.

If the deer came from an area that had Chronic Wasting Disease, what you want is a blood test, not an armed raid. And why are you blaming the readers of this article for not having information that is not contained in the article? Thank you for the information. The raid is still completely uncalled for.

Police State! Under this present administration, "anything goes"! I guess the little deer was a threat to the security of this country according to the dept of Homeland , what-ever. Instead of being on the Southwest Border stopping illegals from Mexico and other countries into the US, they could try to catch the terrorists poising as Mexicans infiltrating the US. This was senseless. Like kids playing with their little guns!

I have visited the USA many times - I do like the country very much indeed. I do though hate it as I arrive at customs, the attitude of bullish authority stinks. The more I read of rouge cops and now this crazy situation. I was born long before the second world war and I see America is heading towards a country that would make Hitler proud.

There was nothing to suggest the fawn was sick and they could have tested before euthanizing if that was the case. But that wasn't really the agenda, was it? This was a show of unnecessary, aggressive force forward a militarized police agenda. Specifically to intimidate and establish the "new" normal. People have lost their internal moral compasses to money, fear and complacency. They do whatever at bidding, without thinking and without compassion. This is not a good thing under any circumstances. Only you can choose to wake up from this dream.

What arrogant, idiot, heartless killers. What a senseless crime, and, if your are heartless, then think of it as a stupid waste of taxpayer money. Flog them all, beat their boss with a baseball bat and fire the director of the WDNR. The deer should have been spare and they should have been "euthanized." It would be a better world.

WHO EVER ORDERED THIS SHIT IS POWER CRAZY . I CANNOT BELIEVE ANYONE IS THIS STUPID. I bet they would love to do the same thing to a human, this way they can get their ORGASAM by killing the BABY DEER BUT killing a Human would give them multiples. A$$holeS

Why aren't they out there throwing child molesters, pedophiles, kidnappers and all the other scum in the US over their shoulder in a body bag? There should be stricter laws in place for them instead of this tiny doe, definitely OVER KILL!!! Should be ASHAMED of themselves. No explanation would make sense on this. A**Holes!!!
